In this lecture, Professor Curtice will assess public attitudes to Brexit and in particular, the role that the debate about EU migration has played in shaping those attitudes.
Citizenship has become central to the functioning of the European Union. Those who are legally citizens of a member state are also citizens of the EU, a status that, among other things, gives them the right, within certain conditions, to live and work in any part of the EU. However, the merits of this right became one of the central issues in the 2016 referendum campaign on the UK’s membership, while the extent to which the UK should now repeal that right is proving to be one of the key points of controversy in the debate about what kind of future relationship with the EU that the UK should now seek.
Light refreshments will be available before the event and a drinks reception will follow after.
